Once a student has received credit, including transfer credit for a course, credit may not be received for any course with material that is equivalent to it or is a prerequisite for it without permission of the mathematics department.
All graduating mathematics majors are required to complete a senior portfolio of
their work. This portfolio will include a compilation of their work across
their four years of mathematical study at Elon; therefore, students should be
mindful of this requirement as they complete work for all their courses and be
sure to retain electronic copies of work that they may want to include in their
portfolio in their senior year.
